Maduro’s problem...... when confronted with a determined detachment of allied foreign troops, the Venezuelan troops will lay down their arms and fade into the population.
Maduro needs to employ force to remove the diplomats or he’s showing he’s not in control of the government. This will all fall apart once Maduro’s forces get to the new interim president.
Sure - if such foreign troops appear. It would be a PR disaster of those troops were Americans, and I don’t know how far Colombia and Brazil will go.
I served in the foreign service and retired from that outfit; I know the international law., and I did not miss the point. Until that government is “out” they are the legally in charge. Just because the democrats act the same way with Trump, doesn’t mean he isn’t our president.
